History: (Action Comics I #226) - Space bandit Dark Starr and his crew hijacked the ship of adwriter Al Todd, and had him change the wording of an asteroid billboard to direct people looking for spacecraft service to the Green Asteroid, the base of the bandits. Starr froze Todd solid with a gun so he couldn't rat him out to the Planeteers, and returned to the Green Asteroid, waiting to rob anyone coming looking to service their craft. Tommy Tomorrow and Captain Brent Wood found Todd's frozen body, and brought him to the hospital, but had no idea why he was attacked. Tommy carried out Todd's other signwriting missions, using a vacuum to make an ad in Saturn's rings and forming asteroids into a lettered ad among other assignments. He realized Al's add used red spray meant for other ads on the billboard for the Green Asteroid, and deduced Dark Starr's scheme. He found the space bandit camp and rounded them up.
